Former Barcelona fullback Jon Andoni Goikoetxea believes Bayern Munich will offer his side the greatest test in the Champions League as they both prepare to play the first leg of their last-16 ties.

Barcelona head to London to face Arsenal on Tuesday, while Bayern will tackle Juventus in Turin on the same night.

Goikoetxea achieved recognition playing for Johan Cruyff's ‘Dream Team’ in the early 90s and made 36 appearances for Spain, winning the European Cup and four La Liga titles in the process.
